Lead Me On, Saint Jude

Graziano Romani


Desperate wind's blowing sand on my face 
life's rolling waves daze my aching mind 
the more it hurts, the less I understand 
help me sail this boat on the living ocean 

Well, you got me whispering a prayer 
got me searching for your halo's burning flame 
lost my way, now I don't know where I stand... 
Won't you lead me on, Saint Jude. 

Rebel with a cause, you know that's what I am 
dreams in my head and disillusion in my eyes 
be the lighthouse to illuminate my nights 
the guiding star shining through the coal-black skies 

Well, you got me cryin' out a prayer 
got me looking for your holy beacon's beam now 
lost my way, now I don't know where I stand... 
Won't you lead me on, Saint Jude, Saint Jude. 

Holy rambler wearin' Jesus on your chest 
we've both got a real tough axe to grind 
just as mine, your book was misread 
just like yours, my name was mixed with shame 

Now you got me calling out a prayer 
got me longing for your halo's burning flame 
lost my way, now I don't know where I stand... 
Won't you lead me on, Saint Jude, oh Saint Jude 
lead me on, Saint Jude, won't you lead me on, Saint Jude.
